Hey, that's my Sun you're talking about..!

One of the most astonishing aspects I would want you to observe is the 'baselessness' of this concept of God and religion, and perhaps of my vocabulary. Some of you will be quite astonished to hear the story of Galileo.
The Geocentric model, as taught by the Church before Galilei
Galileo Galilei, as we all know, was the first one to observe from his telescope and give a proposal about the apparent movement of the Earth. But what all don’t know is this: unlike what the Church taught at that time, he said that celestial bodies don’t revolve around the Earth, but the Earth itself revolves around a bigger celestial body, a star, the Sun, better known today as the Copernican system.
But the Church stayed on to its orthodox Ptolemaic system as shown, and Galileo was warned ‘not to hold, teach, or defend it in any way whatever, either orally or in writing’, and when he continued, he was put on trial and house-arrested for his ‘wrong and misleading’ theory. Also, the Copernican books were suspended till correction, and all books ‘supporting or advocating’ Copernican system were banned. But as of the present, we all study the movements of planets in the 7th grade, and deeper in Physics as heliocentrism.
What this means is that the whole concept of God from the start appears to be baseless, and we have even started uprooting its bases recently. If all of us think correctly, the day is not near when the world is actually lifted of the dark of religion and superstition, and sets a course towards the light of rationalism and logic.

Mind and Body..! Heart and Soul..?

Humans have desperately tried to combine, rather relate, Science with the divine powers. Many of them have even proved existence of spirituality scientifically. They call it Noetic Science. One of the first institutes to perform research over this new and fascinating field is The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS).
In one of their experiment, they gathered some 1900 people from Austria and Germany, and these people focused their intentions towards water samples, which were electromagnetically shielded, and some which weren't. Ice drops formed from these samples were photographed by a technician, and were tested for aesthetic beauty by a number of unbiased and unknown independent judges. Results were anticipated, yet quite astonishing. The intentionally treated samples were more aesthetically beautiful, though there was minute difference.
What this proves is that we can alter environment by the power of mind, though there is negligible difference. I anticipate that all this might just be bouncing off some heads, but long story short, your mind is just as powerful as that of Charles Xavier.
This also led me to another plausible hypothesis. We all know that our body has vestigial organs, the organs that are of no use as of the present. The best example is the appendix, which digested cellulose in our primates, but has now practically shrunk in size, and functionally shrunk to nothing. Now, mind power is something that was yielded in the distant past by the saints. In the course of time, such honest and mentally powered saints decreased in number. Thus, the real use of mind also shrunk, shrinking its efficiency as well. Reaching the present or the recent past (1000-2000 years maybe), the mind, or as the present generation referred it to as the brain, became a vestigial organ. Now, despite our fully honest attempts, we are not able to fully nurture the power of mind, because it has almost stopped functioning. It is only functioning so as to face this world of overly material pleasure.

So I can understand why Jesus was considered a messenger of God, while he just performed 33 miracles like walking on water, or turning water to wine (which again seems too implausible to me). It's because you cannot believe that normal humans can do it, and so don’t give your best effort.
